Dear Fran Drescher

Hi Fran, I don’t know if you follow my blog at all, but I’ve sure been talking about fear a lot lately. Fear of bears, cougars, and a whole bunch of other things that I better not talk about or I will start getting apprehensive when I’m supposed to be working. After the Naked Bike […]

Dear Fran, I know I just wrote you back on June 27th, but I was also looking over an old letter I sent to you in 2014. In reading over the letter to you, I can’t believe how nothing has changed from then until now. In fact, I’m starting the ShapeUp program again today—what are […]

Dear Fran, Sunday morning, I woke up at 3:30. Three hours of sleep doesn’t cut it, especially when you have to play for praise team at church the same day. I hopped out of bed, and I do mean hopped. I felt like the Energizer Bunny. I high-tailed it (oh my goodness, stop with the […]

Hi Bestie, Remember I was telling you about the 300-pound man riding his bike around in his tighty-whities? Well, while I wouldn’t ride a bike around in my underwear, I wanted to tell you about my latest dilemna. When a person gains 28 pounds, it… uh… makes a person’s underwear really uncomfortable. My old underwear […]

Fran, Fran, Fran! On a lighter note, I forgot to tell you: I witnessed my first… well, my… uh, ahem… Naked Bike Ride. I don’t even know what to say. The people you want to see naked aren’t there and the people that— Huh? What am I saying? While I guess I’m glad that people […]

Dear Fran, My aunt died on May 30. Yes, she had cancer. Seems like everyone is getting cancer nowadays. Aunt Ann was a wonderful woman. At the funeral, what stood out to me the most is the love of life that she possessed—evident in the love for her husband of 48 years, her children, grandchildren, […]

Dear Fran, I forgot to tell you in my rash of letters that we got a new puppy. And two new kitties. We already had one dog. This now officially means we have more animals than people living here. Best friends always, Marie

Dear Fran, Hello again. It’s now about four in the morning, and I have a few more things to tell you. A friend of mine called a few days ago, early in the morning, and left a message: “I have a quick question for you.” The only problem was, I missed her phone call because […]

Dear Fran, How are you, girl? I tell you, it’s been a crazy ride over here in DeHaan Land lately. Two months since I last blogged and even longer since I’ve written you. Boy howdy, where do I even begin? Well, first of all, right now it is 3:23 in the morning and I’m reclining […]
